In the state of Odisha, Vasant Panchami was celebrated with kids reading and writing their first words in special pandal in which Saraswati Pooja was performed.

It is considered auspicious to start education on
Vasant Panchami and begin learning by writing Om and drawing the
symbol of Maa Saraswati.

In
Focus

To draw the symbol of the deity in its simplest
form, first three triangles are drawn; below them two and in the last
one triangle is drawn. The top three triangles, a stick figure with
chest by a straight line and raised hand with a curved line and head
with a circle is drawn.

However, the top set of triangles is always the
odd numbers like three, five or seven, if one wishes to draw a bigger
symbol greater odd-numbered triangles can be used to begin the
drawing. This symbol is also used to draw kolam, rangoli and tattoo
these days.

Vasant Panchami occurs on Magha Shukla Panchami
and is celebrated with worship of Saraswati-the goddess of knowledge
and wisdom in Hinduism. The festival also marks the arrival of spring
in India.
